How it Works

Enroll

Thank you for your interest in the Smart Outlet Program. The program is currently full, and we are not accepting new enrollments at this time.

Choose and Connect Your Devices

Use outlets with high energy use appliances like a window AC or dehumidifier. We’ll install and help you connect your smart outlets to your home Wi-Fi.

Participate in Energy Savings Events

For up to four hours during select high energy use days, we’ll activate the smart outlets and turn off connected high-demand devices.

Go Back to Regular Use

Once the Energy Savings Event is over, your smart outlets and the devices they manage will turn on and return to normal operation.

There will be a maximum of 10 Energy Savings Events per year

Event days typically occur on non-holiday weekdays from June through September between 2-6 p.m.

Why Enroll?
